Broadjam Artist: RICARDO ALONSO
Song: EOLIA

Reviewer: MGB

Positive Comments: Fine fusion of keyboards and strings early and great climaxes later make this a really easy piece to listen to. Great climax around the one minute mark. Good work.

Constructive Comments: Best of luck with this. Shouldn’t be too hard finding a placement for a piece like this.

Broadjam Artist: Wayne Ammons
Song: Paradox

Reviewer: MGB

Positive Comments: Brief but great piece. Just when you think you know what’s coming, you throw a curve. Great mix. Nice transitions. Great playing.

Constructive Comments: Very cool piece. The very definition of what progressive rock should be!

Broadjam Artist: Common Ground
Song: Bottle Of Dreams

Reviewer: Wayne Ammons

Positive Comments: Reminiscent of Matchbox 20 with a 90’s rock feel. Like the way the first line leads you into the song and the phrasing on the verses. Background vocals work well. Fat guitar sound!

Constructive Comments: Maybe include a bridge? Keep on writing and recording!

Broadjam Artist: Sonic
Song: Gypsy Soul

Reviewer: Tinsky

Positive Comments: well performed – vocals, instrumentation. very correct work

Constructive Comments: sounds not “fresh” kind of too “eighties” .. arrangements are too regular and that impacts the overall quality. not that to make it electro but to find a few original ideas- sound, arrangement or mix- could lift the thing

Broadjam Artist: Highsmyth
Song: Alien Dubstep

Reviewer: Randal Dunkle

Positive Comments: Very cool intro with an awesome beat – I really like the sound of the keyboards as well.

Constructive Comments: I like it however, I do hear some drum beats that are out of beat – I think if you fix that then you would have something very strong- best wishes!

Broadjam Artist: Hart Brothers
Song: Downsizin Blues

Reviewer: RandBpro

Positive Comments: This is a real pleasure to listen to. I love the blues and this is an excellent example of the genre. The theme of being downsized out of a job is all too common in American and they really captured the feeling of it in this song. The standard call and response format really works with this song.

Constructive Comments: Not much I could say about improving this one. The lyrics are great, the instrumentation is right on and the vocal pitch is exactly right for the song. Nice work, fellas. I hope you can get this placed on a TV show or film, but I think that it could be a successful song on the radio if you can find the contacts to get it on the playlists of the blues stations.

Broadjam Artist: Uncle Spider & The Electric Dirt Clods
Song: Swamp Water Stomp / Blues Rock

Reviewer: RandBpro

Positive Comments: This is definitely southern blues and it is well performed. I could clearly hear the guitar, bass and drums individually which indicates a good quality recording. Although the song was original and well performed, it didn’t get me up and on my feet moving to the music. I could see it as background music for a film or TV.

Constructive Comments: When the song began, I kept waiting for the vocal to kick in. I think the song is OK as an instrumental, but would be a lot stronger with the addition of a vocal. A strong Southern blues lyric would work well with this and could take it over the top. Overall, nice work, people.
